The needs of academically talented students are specifically catered for through the Academic Extension Programs, which operate in Mathematics, English, Science and HASS for Years 7 to 10.
Please note that these are in-house programs and, as such, are not an entry pathway into the school. Students must reside in the local intake area when submitting the formal Academic Extension application to be eligible for testing.
Should an “Out of Area” applicant gain enrolment at Applecross Senior High School, their academic performance will be reviewed at that time by Academic Extension Coordinators. Every endeavour will be made to place the student in the most suitable class, including extension classes, depending on availability and class numbers.
Academic Extension application forms should be returned as soon as possible. Applications close at 6.00 pm on Wednesday, 22 July 2026.
Testing information will be emailed to all applicants at the start of Term 3. At the conclusion of the selection process, all parents will be notified via email regarding the outcome of their child’s testing. However, individual test scores and/or feedback will not be provided.
